UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE AND THE PURPOSE OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT

Prov 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Most Christians are confused about the teachings of the human spirit, the Holy Spirit and the human soul. In this short teaching, I will dig deeper into the teachings of the human spirit. The first thing we must understand about God is that He is a spirit and created us in His image and likeness. (See John 4:24).

If God is a Spirit and created us in His image (resemblance) and after His likeness (model, shape and similitude),  we are also spirit beings. After God created man's body with the dust of the earth, He breathed the breath of life into man.

When God's breath entered man's lifeless body, it created a spirit within man and made the soul and body of man active. (Meditate on Genesis 2:7). The Holy Spirit empowered the creation of the human spirit because He has eternal life within Himself. Every living thing, including Satan and his minions, derives life from the Holy Spirit.

This shows how loving our God is. Without the Holy Spirit, the spirit of a man will cease to function. God created the human spirit for a specific reason, and in these short teachings, I will give you some reasons. 

Get my book entitled “How to Walk and Live in the Spirit” for more revelation. God created the spirit of man to enable the Holy Spirit to communicate with us.

 

1.     The Holy Spirit created our spirit to give us access to the spiritual realm.

2.     God created the spirit of man to enable us to connect with the angelic beings in the realms of the spirit. Some people connect their spirit with an evil spirit.

3.     God created the spirit of man to enable us to stand before His Holiness because our sinful nature cannot withstand His Holiness.

4.     The Holy Spirit created our spirit to enable us to receive inspiration, illumination and revelation from the Holy Spirit.

5.     God created the spirit of man to enable us to connect with the Trinity.

6.     The Holy Spirit created our spirit to enable the Holy Spirit to have access to our soul (thoughts and imaginations). For example, our physical eyes cannot see during the day without the sun.

The Holy Spirit access our thoughts and actions through our spirit. God said to Abraham through the voice of an angel when Abraham was about to sacrifice his only son Isaac to Him. The angel said, “NOW I KNOW THAT FEARETH GOD.” (See Genesis 22:12). 

This is what David said, “Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” So, without the Word of God, we cannot know the true path of the Lord. The Word lets us see the righteousness and the evil in this world, making us cautious of our life in the Lord.

This is how the Holy Spirit access our thoughts and actions through our spirit. Without the Word, there is no lamp, so without our spirit, the Holy Spirit cannot access our thoughts, actions and motives.

7.      The Holy Spirit transferred life to the soul and the body through our spirit. Meditate on this scripture “Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

8.     The Holy Spirit created our spirit to enable us to understand the Word of God as the Holy Spirit understands.

 

DIVINE KEY: THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS THE BEST ENTITY TO UNDERSTAND THE HOLY SPIRIT PERFECTLY.
